I chant to save my heart. Every time I sit down, that's what I'm doing.
Krishna Das
Image
I chant to save my miserable ass. That's what I do.
Krishna Das
Image
One of your biggest lessons so far in life has been to learn to forgive myself over and over again and not to be so harsh with myself.
Krishna Das
Image
Letting go does not mean pushing away or negating thoughts or feelings that come to us - but instead being with the feeling. We start to feel that we are no longer victims of the stuff that happens to us. There is something we can do about it... if we just take a look at it.
Krishna Das
Image
We have to learn to love people even if they are not giving you what you want... and then not take it personally. If you feel hurt, you have to recognize that they are not hurting you because you are you, but because they are them. You have to try not to be so hard on yourself.
Krishna Das
Image
The heart is like a mirror. When we dust it off, we are able to see ourselves. The dust is all our stuff - guilt, anger - this stuff is reflected back to us. Practice removes the dust from the mirror of our hearts.
Krishna Das

When we start talking about gurus, first of all we're starting to talk about something that can't be talked about, in the sense that you can never really know what a guru is as long as you are imprisoned by your own thoughts and circular ego. The true guru is someone who's transcended all that. And we don't know anything about that.
Krishna Das
Image
I'm reconnecting, I'm deepening, I'm opening, I'm releasing negativity and negative thoughts and all the limitations I carry around with me - again and again and again and again and again and again. And again! And that's the only thing that keeps me alive.
Krishna Das
Image
The ultimate act of power is surrender.
Krishna Das
Image
Just the slightest turn toward the inside is a very big thing.
Krishna Das
Image
On the Path, it’s impossible to know how you are doing because it’s the judger who is disappearing.
Krishna Das
Image
You can never really know what a guru is as long as you are imprisoned by your own thoughts and circular ego.
Krishna Das
Image
The repetition of the holy names reveals a presence hidden within the heart. Something begins to happen that's very disturbing - we get happy.
Krishna Das
Image
Until you are fully enlightened, you can never know what another person's reality is like for them.
Krishna Das
Image
There is an eighth color that we don't have the sense apparatus to see or experience.
Krishna Das
Image
Don't wait for a Guru. Your life is your Guru.
Krishna Das
Image
I knew that if I did not start chanting with people, that I would never be able to clean out the dark corners of my own heart. I knew it with every cell in my body and mind.
